I have 2 hens that brooded nonstop all winter long. As soon as they would raise their chicks they were right back at it. One of them just hatched again, I think it's her 6th or 7th clutch since August of last year, when she first went broody. She is an OEG/silkie mix

Have some Horizon single N.E.S.T. bird shippers available! Send me a message if you're interested!

My Boss Hen, Mopsy, a Buff Orpington, has been broody over and over since Spring. I'm hoping that she stops this because she is a great 'layer".
(I may need to provide some "psychiatric counseling" for her....gotta THINK on THAT!)

....good to hear from YOU again! Glad you "survived" your trip to the "populated places"!

I've now got 16 Black Sex-Link PULLETS that are 15 weeks old. I expect I'll be getting quite a few eggs beginning right after Halloween, but before Thanksgiving.

Why thank you! Yes I did survive, I was starving when I got home, no jalepeno's in SC!
And yes real men not only eat quiche, they enjoy it! And you know what? Real women DO pump gas!
LOL I've got both books too! What a hoot they are!

If you aren't living for something, you are dying for nothing.

Don't trouble Trouble until Trouble troubles you!My lady be wary and heed to the lines of this verse: To let a fool kiss you is stupid, to let a kiss fool you is worse.

The book was written in response to Real Men Don't Eat Quiche, it's called Real Women Don't Pump Gas: A Guide to All That is Divinely Feminine (1982) by Joyce Jillson.

The dedication tells you how it will go:
(Quote) This book is dedicated to Queen Isabella of Spain. Without her, the New World, and hence the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Hoover Dam, and Ernest Hemingway, would not have been possible-and Christopher Columbus would have ended up sipping Sangria and eating quiche in Lisbon.
Naturally, he took all the credit.

If you can ever get a copy it will make you laugh so hard!!!!

And you can read while all your hens are broody this winter!

If you aren't living for something, you are dying for nothing.
